Clackamas County, Oregon.
Ok...So we had a verbal fight, she ended up chasing me around the block, yelling at me the entire way, we got back in our house, and she slapped me, my T-shirt ended up ripped...no big deal I think, in the grand scheme of things..
However...Our front door was still open, and an off duty officer from another county saw the slap....AND our son, who we thought was at a friends house...walked in on it, and also saw it.
I removed her from the house, then removed our son by sending him to the neighbors.
While our son was away, she got arrested for the first time in her life on charges of.....
#1 ASSAULT IV
STATUTE: ORS.163.160-7
BOND: $15000
#2 HARASSMENT
STATUTE: ORS.166.065-4
BOND: $3500
#3 DISORDERLY CONDUCT II
STATUTE: ORS.166.025
BOND: $3500
The DA Says the the "Best" they can do is her plead guilty to assault 4 and get 4 months probation and anger management classes and 4 months no contact...On top of the 30 days we have had so far...
Now is where it gets very complicated...
We both are disabled and depend on each other to balance out our disabilities and raise our son.
we both are now diagnosed with major depression and have been suicidal before because of this...It is very important that this gets resolved MUCH faster than what the DA claims it could be.
Now my neighbor, said something about serving some jail time like 20 or so days and be done with it and come back home where she belongs, I am not sure if that is a viable option, but we want this over quickly.
Um, I am the victim on their records but I am NOT the one pressing charges, they claimed there is nothing I can do (with a snide comment and smirk)
My entire family is going through literal hell because of the system, nothing will be resolved by keeping us from apart, we do not mean any harm to each other, things got out of hand this one time and we just want this hell to end.
I do not have an attorney so far, and her court appointed one seems to be utterly useless, We need help very badly.
We are both also very low income...We just want our family back.
